I've been looking up the stuff on Jodorowsky's Dune and let me tell ya, this would've been something special. They fucking projected this thing to be 10 fucking hours long, and the final draft of the script ran off to be projected to be 14 hours long. Orson Welles, Dali, Moebius, Pink Floyd, Giger(who designed the Alien from Alien) were all involved in some form during pre production. Here are some designs by Moebius:

I don't have a strong attachment to the books - I thought they were good but they didn't shake the ground for me. I really like Lynch's Dune, but it is an *adaptation*, and like most good adaptations it has to leave a lot of the source behind. It managed to be pretty epic, atmospheric, creepy and good.

I'd love to see another good adaptation, or series thereof. There's enough material there to make 10 movies and still not cover it all.

The SciFi channel mini-series were OK and worth watching, even though they were not perfect, I was happy that they at least got made. I kept hoping they would make God Emperor of Dune, as that is my favorite book other than the first one. It would be pretty difficult to pull off how Leto looks in this one and not have it come up goofy.

Back in college a buddy made a hard trance mixtape using some sounds from Lynch's Dune. It was called wormsign. Thanks to this thread I have tracked it down and am listening to it. The sad part is, this mix is now 10 years old.

When I was in High School, my town library had a copy of the Dune Encyclopedia, which I have always thought was downright fantastic. A couple years ago, I tracked down a copy on eBay. Mine has a different cover, strangely. I've never seen it anywhere else.

im hesitant about this. i never cared for the original...the miniseries got me to read the books, but even that could be painful at times (i was introduced by a friends obsessive renting of the sega genesis game as a teen).

Sting kinda looks like he is a much more sexually liberated Batman in that pic.And the fat guy reminds me of Doctor Robotnik from Sonic the Hedgehog. I played the sega games back int he early 90's, before I saw Dune, so I always just think of the guy as "Dr. Robotnik" and can;t remember his actual character name.

Dune is a series I've had to read with extended breaks between books, due to the fact that my brain kind of boils after every installment due to length and content. And I mean that in the most flattering way possible.

I'm really looking forward to this new Dune movie. I'm always interested when a classic story like this can be presented with modern movie technology. Casting should be pretty interesting as well.

I don't think anyone will be able to beat Kenneth McMillian's Baron yelling the word "Sadaukar!" however. No disrespect to "Woooooooommmms" from the Children miniseries.
